WHAT the Ladies are Saving.

WHAT the Ladies are Saying.
The "Cleveland snub" promises to
be popular in fashionable circles this
winter.
Mrs. Burkett, and her daughter,
Miss Mary, have gone to Port Town
send to spend the winter.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. Reeves Ayres, late
of Walla Walla, have established them
selves in Capt. Parker's pretty resi-
dence. We hope that life in Olympia
will in some degree compensate them
for the loss of their beautiful home, the
inland city of tall poplars, immense
grain fields and pretty women.
